About the Book

This book presents the results of a research on the integration of second generation migrants in Catalonia. Drawing on in-depth biographical interviews, we demonstrate the link between language and social mobility. Language is a particularly important social issue in Catalonia. A bilingual region in northeast Spain, Catalonia has been receiving foreign migration for several decades. Nowadays, some of the children of those migrants are entering the labor market. For many migrant families, providing social mobility for their children was one of their main goals. What effects does bilingualism have on the social trajectories of migrant children? Is Catalan important for social mobility? The book answers these questions focusing on the fate of three migrant communities: Argentineans, Colombians and Moroccans.      El libro presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre la segunda generación de inmigrantes en Cataluña. Basado en entrevistas biográficas en profundidad, demostramos el vínculo entre lengua y movilidad social. La lengua es una cuestión particularmente importante en Cataluña. Una región bilingue en el nordeste de España, Cataluña ha estado recibiendo migración extranjera durante varias décadas. Actualmente, algunos de los hijos de esos inmigrantes están entrando en el mercado de trabajo. Para muchas familias inmigrantes, conseguir la movilidad social para sus hijos era uno de los principales objetivos. Que efectos tiene el bilinguismo en las trayectorias de los niños inmigrantes? El Catalán es importante para la movilidad social? El libro responde a estas preguntas centrandose en el destino de tres comunidades inmigrantes: Argentinos, Colombianos y Marroquies.

Review :
"Among the studies that analyse the motives and consequences of leaving the home country or the adjustment or possible marginality in the receiving country due to economic and social reasons, this work adds an interesting axis of language to the factors in both situations. [...] I find this book definitely useful in Latin American Studies and in any academic programs that concentrate on encounters between two or more cultures." - Sarri Vuorisalo-Tiitinen, in: The Nordic Journal of Migration Research (NJMR), 3(2) (2013), 110-111
